The Middlesex County Academy for SMET is a great environment for experiences in engineering prior to those one may have in college. It provides their students with a good grasp of the potential concepts and rigor expected of them in engineering schools. It also allows them the freedom to explore a variety of extracurriculars and build the application they hope to achieve.

My experience at the Academy was helpful. I'm grateful that I was able to learn engineering so early on, but for me, it really solidified that I didn't necessarily want to go into engineering. Even though I came out on a medical path, I feel that taking engineering helped me to develop the critical thinking skills that I would need to succeed in any career that I pursue.
